Yay! My race is done, so for the rest of the year, I can sit on the couch!
Oh wait, that’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works. This definitely was a recovery week though.
Monday – Travel day. Driving, driving, back to my house and my kitties, who were very glad to see me. However, Sunday, a few hours after the race, I did have to ride my bike the mile back from transition, so I’ll count that as part of the recovery week.
Tuesday – Went and got a massage and it was glorious. This counts as training.
Wednesday – I was supposed to get back to training, but instead I went to see Come From Away at Ford’s Theater and it was so amazing and I want to see it again. I walked there and back, so we’ll count that as my 30 minute walk requirement.
Thursday – All right, back to it. 30 minute bike. Let’s go. Oh wait, bike is broken, off to the bike shop.
I could have fixed this myself but the threads were stripped on the crank arm and I couldn’t make things work. The bike shop was so lovely. Now to prevent this from happening again.
Friday – Okay, now we’re on to things. 20 minute run. Go. And my quads reminded me that I had raced the weekend before.
Saturday – 45 minute bike ride.
Sunday – 30 minute run. Yeah, maybe the Army Ten Miler isn’t going to feel so great after all. But I’ll make it.
How did that happen to your pedal?!
This is a good question and one I cannot answer. But I will be checking the tightness of my pedals more often… or ever.
